Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Unless you make a daily effort to see the world as God sees it, you will never get beyond mere appearances.

I will not be afraid because I understand... And understanding is happiness.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Cheerfulness is that quality which enables one to make others happy. It takes its origin half in personal goodness, and half in the belief of the personal goodness of others.

To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud of you.

If you deliberately set out to be less than you are capable, you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
